Preface

Thank you for placing your trust in this devolo product.

The dLAN 200 AVplus allows you to set up your own home network with almost no effort. Because the clever dLAN technology transmits the data over the household electrical wiring, you do not have to lay any new cables. You do not even have to do without an electrical socket, as the dLAN a power supply to which you can connect your terminal devices or multiple sock ets as usual. The integrated mains filter significantly improves data transmission in the home network.

The fast transfer rate of up to 200 Mbps makes every bandwidth-intensive Internet application a real multimedia treat. The integrated "Quality of Service" function measures the bandwidth requirement, optimises the data flow and ensures excellent quality—particularly for voice and video data.

To protect your data, simply press a button on the dLAN 200 AVplus to activate the convenient and secure 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryp tion. In addition, the patented power saving mode, which comes standard, automatically uses up to 30% less power.

devolo dLAN 200 AVplus

1 Introduction

dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you set up a home network easily, quickly and economically via your household electrical wiring, without the need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling. The available performance and effort required for the installation also compares favourably to traditional methods—dLAN technology now attains speeds you would expect from other LAN technologies, and installing it is a breeze!

Introduction

1.1 What exactly is dLAN?

dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household electrical wiring to transfer data between computers equipped with suitable adapters and other network components. As a result, any power outlet can be used as a network access point. The data is modulated prior to transfer and sent as a signal via household power lines. State-of-the-art technology ensures that the power and data net

devolo dLAN 200 AVplus

Introduction

works do not interfere with one another. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The data is encrypted using a key to prevent interception by third parties.

1.2 devolo—Up to speed on green IT

The topic everyone is talking about is green IT. devolo has an easy solution: the power saving mode, which comes standard with the home network adapters, sets the company apart from many competitors in the IT industry. And that has been the case even before global warming and the scarcity of resources have become concerns on everyone's mind.

Developers at devolo, have for a long time kept a close eye on how much power dLAN adapters may consume. After all, a devolo network via electrical sockets should not only be convenient, but also require as little energy as possible— particularly during times when it is not being used.

That devolo can satisfy the demand for energy efficiency is evidenced by the patented power saving mode in the devices. It automatically lowers energy consumption by 30 percent when the computers in the dLAN network or con nected equipment are switched off.

The power saving mode in the adapters is not only a tribute to environmental protection but also a real service to the customer. Most people tend to forget to regularly press the standby button on the hardware. The patented technol

ogy in devolo adapters allows you to save energy without having to do anything. And if less energy is consumed, your electric meter will turn more

slowly. In other words, every minute the adapter is in power saving mode, you will save money.

A dLAN adapter connected to a computer can only go into power saving mode if the network card of the switched-off computer is also inactive. If you are using a network card that remains active even when the computer is switched off, we recommend connecting the computer to an on/off switch using a multiple socket so that both the computer and the integrated n et wo rk ca rd are de - e ne rg i se d.

After successfully installing the devolo software, you can launch the dLAN Configuration Wizard via the Start  Programs  devolo program group and the Device  Start dLAN Configuration Wizard in the devolo Informer.

Before beginning with this step, make a note of the security IDs of all existing dLAN adapters. This unique identifier of each dLAN device is located on the label on the housing. It consists of 4 x 4 letters separated by dashes (e.g. ANJRKMOR-KSHT-QRUV). Ensure that all dLAN adapters are connected to the electri cal wiring and computers or other network components as appropriate.

햲 Scan for dLAN 200 AV adapter

After launching the Wizard, it initially scans for a dLAN adapter connected directly to your computer.

햳 Assign a network password

In this step, select a network password that will apply to all adapters in your home network. The password must be used by all dLAN devices.

Three options are available:

 Automatically generate a password

Alternatively, the Configuration Wizard can automatically generate a password for use with your dLAN network.

 Assign your own password

You can assign a password of your own.

 Reset the password to the factory setting

Restore the factory default password of your dLAN adapter.

The factory default password is "HomePlugAV". Assigning a specific password to a single adapter will exclude it from the remaining dLAN network.

4.5 Warranty conditions

The devolo AG warranty is given to purchasers of devolo products in addition to the warranty conditions provided by law and in accordance with the following conditions:

1 Warranty coverage

a) The warranty covers the equipment delivered and all its parts. Parts will, at devolo's sole dis-

cretion, be replaced or repaired free of charge if, despite proven proper handling and adherence to the operating instructions, these parts became defective due to fabrication and/or material defects. Alternatively, devolo reserves the right to replace the defective product with a comparable product with the same specifications and features. Operating manuals and possibly supplied software are excluded from the warranty.

b) Material and service charges shall be covered by devolo, but not shipping and handling costs

involved in transport from the buyer to the service station and/or to devolo. c) Replaced parts become property of devolo. d) devolo is authorized to carry out technical changes (e.g. firmware updates) beyond repair and

replacement of defective parts in order to bring the equipment up to the current technical state.

This does not result in any additional charge for the customer. A legal claim to this service does

not exist.

2 Warranty period

The warranty period for this devolo product is three years. This period begins at the day of delivery from the devolo dealer. Warranty services carried out by devolo do not result in an extension of the warranty period nor do they initiate a new warranty period. The warranty period for installed replacement parts ends with the warranty period of the device as a whole.

3 Warranty procedure

a) If defects appear during the warranty period, the warranty claims must be made immediately,

at the latest within a period of 7 days. b) In the case of any externally visible damage arising from transport (e.g. damage to the hous-

ing), the person carrying out the transportation and the sender should be informed immedi-

ately. On discovery of damage which is not externally visible, the transport company and the

sender are to be immediately informed in writing, at the latest within 3 days of delivery. c) Transport to and from the location where the warranty claim is accepted and/or the repaired

device is exchanged, is at the purchaser's own risk and cost. d) Warranty claims are only valid if a copy of the original purchase receipt is returned with the

device. devolo reserves the right to require the submission of the original purchase receipt.

4 Suspension of the warranty

All warranty claims will be deemed invalid

a) if the label with the serial number has been removed from the device, b) if the device is damaged or destroyed as a result of acts of nature or by environmental influ-

ences (moisture, electric shock, dust, etc.), c) if the device was stored or operated under conditions not in compliance with the technical

specifications, d) if the damage occurred due to incorrect handling, especially to non- observance of the system

description and the operating instructions, e) if the device was opened, repaired or modified by persons not contracted by devolo, f) if the device shows any kind of mechanical damage, or g) if the warranty claim has not been reported in accordance with 3a) or 3b).

5Operating mistakes

If it becomes apparent that the reported malfunction of the device has been caused by unsuitable hardware, software, installation or operation, devolo reserves the right to charge the purchaser for the resulting testing costs.

6 Additional regulations

a) The above conditions define the complete scope of devolo's legal liability. b) The warranty gives no entitlement to additional claims, such as any refund in full or in part.

Compensation claims, regardless of the legal basis, are excluded. This does not apply if e.g.

injury to persons or damage to private property are specifically covered by the product liability

law, or in cases of intentional act or culpable negligence. c) Claims for compensation of lost profits, indirect or consequential detriments, are excluded. d) devolo is not liable for lost data or retrieval of lost data in cases of slight and ordinary negli-

gence. e) In the case that the intentional or culpable negligence of devolo employees has caused a loss

of data, devolo will be liable for those costs typical to the recovery of data where periodic secu-

rity data back-ups have been made. f) The warranty is valid only for the first purchaser and is not transferable. g) The court of jurisdiction is located in Aachen, Germany in the case that the purchaser is a mer-

chant. If the purchaser does not have a court of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany

or if he moves his domicile out of Germany after conclusion of the contract, devolo's court of

jurisdiction applies. This is also applicable if the purchaser's domicile is not known at the time

of institution of proceedings. h) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany is applicable. The UN commercial law does not

apply to dealings between devolo and the purchaser.
